Overnight Striping Operations & Lane Closures on I-15 

Crews are completing roadway striping on I-15 northbound and southbound between Roy Exit 338 and the Riverdale Rd. bridge through mid-June. Work will take place nightly, excluding the weekends, from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and requires lane closures to allow crews to safety install permanent pavement markings, lane lines and other roadway striping that helps guide traffic and improve safety.

Ongoing Activities

I-15 Lane Closures & Shifts

Crews will complete nighttime intermittent lane shifts and closures on I-15 in both northbound and southbound directions through mid-June for profile and concrete grinding activities. During this work, traffic will shift to the three middle lanes. Pavement grinding smooths the concrete surface to improve the ride quality for drivers. 

Plan ahead and expect delays during peak travel times.
